Ohio State has two Olympic medalists in two days.
Former Ohio State fencer Eleanor Harvey became the second Buckeye to win a medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics as she defeated Italy’s Alice Volpi, 15-12, in the bronze medal match in the women’s foil.
Harvey finished third in the competition behind only the American duo of Lauren Scruggs and Lee Kiefer, who advanced to the gold medal match.
The former Buckeye, who competed for Ohio State from 2013-17, made history for Team Canada by becoming the first-ever Canadian fencer to win an Olympic medal.
